[00:11.817]He was born in the summer of his 27th year
[00:17.917]Comin'home to a place he'd never been before
[00:23.868]He left yesterday behind him,you might say he was born again
[00:29.819]You might say he found a key for every door
[00:35.819]When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
[00:41.669]On the road and hangin'by a song
[00:47.720]But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
[00:53.670]It keeps changin'fast and it don't last for long
[00:59.522]But the Colorado rocky mountain high
[01:05.222]I've seen it rainin'fire in the sky
[01:11.372]The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
[01:21.424]Rocky mountain high
[01:26.924]Rocky mountain high
[01:33.525]He climbed cathedral mountains,he saw silver clouds below
[01:39.476]He saw everything as far as you can see
[01:45.127]And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
[01:51.77]And he lost a friend but kept his memory
[01:56.727]Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
[02:02.778]Seeking grace in every step he takes
[02:08.528]His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
[02:14.478]The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
[02:19.979]And the Colorado rocky mountain high
[02:25.979]I've seen it rainin'fire in the sky
[02:31.830]You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
[02:41.883]Rocky mountain high
[02:47.384]Rocky mountain high
[02:53.884]Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
[02:59.835]Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
[03:05.686]Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
[03:11.538]More people,more scars upon the land
[03:17.960]And the Colorado rocky mountain high
[03:23.160]I've seen it rainin'fire in the sky
[03:29.111]I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
[03:38.862]Rocky mountain high
[03:42.512]It's Colorado rocky mountain high
[03:48.162]I've seen it rainin'fire in the sky
[03:54.513]Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
[04:03.913]Rocky mountain high
[04:09.514]Rocky mountain high
[04:15.415]Rocky mountain high
[04:21.15]Rocky mountain high
[04:26.916]Rocky mountain high
[04:32.668]Rocky mountain high
